6 week old baby......COLIC
No one tells you just how tough it is dealing with a baby that is suffering with colic.....and let me tell you now, it's the most hardest thing in the world.
My little girl has been doing great, until about a week ago, where she would constantly cry for no reason, i tried feeding her, changing her bum, giving her some water, giving cuddles, putting her in her electric chair with a heartbeat sound...but did any of these work? Nope.
So then I started to try infacol, which does work but it doesn't make them better, at all.
She has slept through the night for two nights in a row and she's only 6 weeks old, yeah it's fantastic!! But what isn't fantastic is dreading the morning when you know she is going to wake up crying for no reason, again. She will be fine during the day, she will love her bath but then comes 7:30 and she is at it again, crying so loud you could hear her from mars.
It isn't easy, not when you are already suffering with depression.
I try my hardest to be the greatest mum in the world, but seeing my little girl cry in pain makes me feel like I'm the worst mum in the world, because there is literally nothing you can do to help a baby with colic except love them.
The colic has made me and my partner argue like crazy, he walked out last night....but only stood at the front door for fresh air. He came back in and I was in tears because I couldn't help her, so he took her. He let me have a cry to get it all out....he told me to go for a walk to get some fresh air but I couldn't leave him to deal with our daughter.
They say colic lasts up until 4 months, how am I going to go another 10ish weeks of her crying constantly? No idea!! But I want other mums to know you are not alone, it is hard but we have to power through the tears and remember it'll all be over with soon, so we can have a happy little baby with no pain at all.
